If you've been waiting for that Minority Report-style interface to really come to fruition, you can finally exhale. One of the science advisors from the Steven Spielberg film -- along with a team of other zany visionaries -- has created an honest-to-goodness, real-world implementation of the computer systems seen in the movie. Dubbed g-speak, the mind bending OS combines "gestural i/o, recombinant networking, and real-world pixels," to deliver what the creators call "the first major step in computer [a] interface since 1984." There are some things that need to seen to be understood, so watch the video after the break, and prepare to have your mind thoroughly blown to bits.

Wow... simply amazing! One of my dreams is that I'll be able to experience something like this before I die.

Just got done watching the video for the second time... is this really...real? I mean, it's just so amazing... I never imagined something like this was possible.

We're totally gonna have this on the nintendo console after next. And quite possibly it will become the standard in about 20 years.
In the 80's, a shitty computer by todays standards would have taken several acres of machinery to make. Computer components half in size and double in speed every 18 months or so, so this will definitely happen.

Yeah, I can see stuff like this becoming more mainstream in 20 years.
One of the things that scares/amazes me is the pace of technology.
The next Wii (Wii HD) has had eMote, a wireless headset that detects emotions and thoughts, patented. So expect to use your thoughts and emotions to control and affect games in only a few years time.

Think about it, will complete virtual reality be possible by the time we're old?
I guess complete virtual reality is impossibly difficult to do, but I'm sure we'll have made a damn good crack at it. Amazing stuff.
